La vie en rose
Bing Crosby Marlene Dietrich Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'a mour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ca m'fait quel-que chose
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est lui par moi
Moi par lui, dans la vie
Il me l'a dit

L'a juré pour la vie
Et dés que je l'apércois
Alors je sens en moi mon coeur qui bat
Des yeux qui font baisser les miens

Un rir' qui se perd sur sa bouch'
Voilá le portrait, sans retouch'
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ca m'fait quel-que chose
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est lui par moi
Moi par lui, dans la vie
Il me l'a dit
L'a juré pour la vie




Et dés que je l'apércois
Alors je sens en moi mon coeur qui bat
